Manzanita Burl Beauties

A friend of mine saved some chunks of manzanita from a burn. I’ve been fiddling with them – lots of pretty stuff but it’s all really small.

These two are about an inch in diameter.

Sanded and buffed with carnauba. They’re very hard, like briar (relative, maybe?). The smell is almost the same, even.

These will be pendants.

I’ve made some buttons for my Wife’s crochet projects and a few other things, but these have turned out best so far.

-- Slice, whack, smack, bang bang, sploosh, scrape, done.
